Not Right For WatchKnowLearn

WatchKnowLearn ratings are intentionally harsher than what you might find on YouTube, for example.
Most of our videos have been imported by people who want to use them with kids, not by the creators of the videos.
We take a hard-nosed attitude toward quality. Four and five stars should be reserved for really excellent quality.
Three stars isn't bad. Two is often watchable and shouldn't be ruled out.

5 stars = Exemplary.
Unusually helpful and well produced. Do not overuse this, please; it is not the standard rating for decent work,
as it is elsewhere.

4 stars = Very Good.
Very helpful but not among the very best; adequately produced, at least.

3 stars = Usable.
Reasonably helpful, perhaps a bit amateurish in production or has some other problem; there is nothing wrong with
a 3-star rating for amateur work!

2 stars = Some Merit.
Minimally helpful; not completely worthless or inappropriate; you can see how it might be useful to some people.

1 star = Not Right for WatchKnowLearn.
Not at all helpful, not educational, poorest quality, etc.; you can't see it being useful to anyone.

This series of videos was created to help middle school and early high school students understand the concepts and math of perimeter, area, and volume and how they can be used in a real life situation - in this case, a brother and sister want to build a new dog pen for their new puppy. This series of videos was created to be colorful, animated, and funny, so that students will want to watch the videos. This video concentrates on finding the perimeter of the new dog pen, so the brother and sister know how much fencing to buy. There is a cartoon of the brother and sister, and then along with it, there are animations that explain the concept of perimeter, and work through the math needed to figure out how much fencing they need to buy. The voices are computer generated, and may be annoying to some, but kids in this age group tend to find them amusing.

Unless changed, the Finder is the person who uploaded the video to WatchKnowLearn.

The Finder is allowed to "lock" information about the Owner and Producer (so other accounts cannot edit this information).
The Finder field should match the Owner field when a video is entered in a contest.

As owner of a video, you can have finder rights transferred to you.

Simply click "Request Finder Rights" and an e-mail will be sent to the current Finder of the video. The Finder may then transfer
rights to you. If he or she does not, bear in mind that an Administrator will see the refusal of your request and will be able to
review it.
